National Guard deployment extended until 2029 amid ongoing crime crisis in Washington D.C
The deployment of the National Guard to Washington D.C. has been extended until 2029, following a 12-month pledge by President Donald Trump to make the city safe and beautiful.
The National Guard deployment in Washington, which was initially set to end after one year, has been extended until 2029 as part of President Donald Trump's crime emergency initiative, a move aimed at making the city safe and beautiful. The extension marks a significant duration for the Guard's presence in the nation's capital. The plan, announced by Trump last year, aims to reduce crime rates and improve public safety.
